I’m getting bored | ADHD Information

Here I go.  I am bored.  Bored  or lazy, not wanting to do the work I need to do.  I'm "playing" on the internet - and not getting any satisfaction out of it.  I come back to this site to see if there is anything new going on, and nope.  Read the same posts over and over and don't have the patience to go to the other pages to see what happened in the past.

I have not done more than 2 hours worth of work all week.  I am a bump on the log right now.  totally useless.  I guess in my mind I thought I would take these meds and miraculously I would begin to do what I know needs to be done.  Nothing.

I was hoping that I would receive that clarity that so many others have said they experience.  I'm getting fed up or restless or something with myself right now for not performing.    I have a lot to do and i can't do it.  

Maybe it's not ADD?  Maybe I am just lazy or a whiner etc.  Maybe that's why the meds aren't working?  I'm fed up with myself.

If you are at "work" and thats all you are getting done. You might be feeling "fed-up" with yourself, but think about how your co-workers are feeling about you....

Is that motivation enough?????

Why do you think we ADD-ers have such a reputation for going through jobs faster then a box of candy?

ZORG38658.3787268519I should say that my brain is telling me to get fed up, but I'm not feeling it.  Just annoyed with myself.

[QUOTE=valzap] Just annoyed with myself. [/QUOTE]

The co-workers can be related to that as well.

Motivation enough?

But, Zorg, here's the problem.  I am by myself.  I don't work "with" people.  We are remotely located in my department.  My boss works at another facility and she is in a conference today and tomorrow (and yesterday)

My employee that I oversee is 1000 miles away as well.

The problem (or gift) is that when I do my work I do it very well and impress the hell out of a lot of people, because they don't know what I know or how to do the things I do.  Though it's easy to do, the perception of others is that it is hard.  so, if I can just get my @ss in gear and do the work, they have no idea if it took me one hour or three weeks of real work.  I think that's my problem!!

Then you have got a lucky thing going.....

Try NOT to overdo it or youll screw it up!!!!

If i did not get a bonus for everything that I did I would do that too.  When I know that I will make 3 dollars more a min if I do it I will. I will work really hard for a day or two then take it easy and no one ever notices. Everyone thinks I am a hard worker. I work about 25 hours a week. I am here 40 hours a week. It is all how you work it!
